SPRAY.

Application filed July so,

This invention relates to improvements in sprays, and has particularreference to a spray adapted to be used upon the body.

The principal object of this invention is to produce aspray having aguard attached thereto, which guard will prevent any unnecessarysplashing of water issuing from the spray.

Another object is to produce a spray which is cheap to manufacture,simple in construction and therefore well within the purchase price ofthe average user.

A further object is to produce a device of this character which may beemployed in any place where a spray is now employed. c

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of thefollowing description. p

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and inwhich like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout thesame,

' Figure I is a side elevation of my improved spray, partly broken awayso as to show the construction thereof, and

Figure II is a bottom plan View of'my spray.

Sprays as ordinarily employed, consist of a rubber top having a sprayhead which the operator grasps and directs the water issuing therefromtoward the body. When a person is using a spray of this character forshampooing the water oftentimes shoots a considerable distance out ofits normal path.

I have therefore devised a guard which will eliminate the abovedisadvantage by confining the water issuing from the device, to theportion beingsprayed. I v

Referring to the drawings in detail, the numeral 5 designates a pipehaving a spray head 6, which carries. the usual perforated surface 7.

1926. Serial No. 126,029.

To the head 6, I attach a guard ring 8 as by braces 9, 11, 12 and 13.The guard ring 8 has its lower extremity upon a plane below the plane ofthe perforated portion 7 With this construction, when the spray is beingemployed, the guard ring is placed against the portion. being sprayed,as for instance, the head, assuming that a sham- 5Q pooing operation isbeing performed with the result that the operator washing the head cancause the water issuing from the spray to contact the head and hair andcan then allow the waterto escape between the ring and the spray head,while with the ordinary spray the water would have no place to es capeother than flowing away-in an uncontrolled manner.

It will thus be seen that by placing this guard ring on the spray, Ihave accom- 'plished' all the objects above set 'forth.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown andvdescribed'is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and thatvarious changes relative to the material, size, shape and arrangement ofparts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of theinvention or the scope of the subjoined claim.-

Having thus described my invention, I claim In a device of the characterdescribed a spray head, brackets secured to said head, a guard ringsupported by said head and spaced therefrom in such a manner as to permit a discharge of fluid therefrom, the lower extremity of said guardring being formed I on a plane below the plane of the spray head. Intestimony whereof I aflix my signature.
